If im the sixers....I’m telling Ben Simmons it is mandatory he comes back next season with a jumper, even if it’s a just mid range j especially if butler and Harris don’t come back. If he don’t then I’m trading him lmao

Ben "I've been working on my jumper all summer" Simmons

Ben Simmons takes a Jump Shot.

Basketball Rim: "Next Question"

[The.Real_Fr]

Ben Simmons can’t hit a jump shot to save his life and has the audacity to wear a shooting sleeve🥴🤦🏿‍♂️

[gerryp]

Gasol took it personally. He was goading him in game 5. At one point Gasol had the ball and was waving his hands telling Embiid to come out and guard him, Embiid didn't move and Marc drained a wide open 3.

“There is only one god, and His name is the jump shot. And there is only one thing we say to the jump shot: 'not today'” - Ben Simmons

[Cornwall]

Why build around a guy who’s always injured and likely to become even more fragile with age?

Fun fact: upper respiratory infection is actually a common cold

[aaronhorne]

Jalen Rose speaking facts.. That's ashame.. Cuz Ben Simmons is raw af on 2k 😂

If Ben Simmons can learn how to make jump-shot then yes this is a championship team if Joel can stay healthy. Those are 2 big “if’s”.

The 76ers are done. There is no fight left in them, it seems. Can they push a game 7? They could, but I don’t think they will. Ben Simmons disrespects the game by not even attempting-jump shots. He is a point guard for God’s sake...shoot the ball, otherwise is 4 on 5 on offense for 76ers.

Ben Simmons is just begging for the playoffs to be over so he can go chill with Kendall

[DecAllTimeAlways]

Tobias Harris was never a max player. That's why my Clippers traded him and I wasn't mad at all. JJ Redick disappears in the postseason.

[Toniwebster]

Mike Conley would be a perfect point guard for the 76ers

[Ultimatum]

The process:
Markele fultz- bust
Simmons- wont/cant shoot
Embiid- next Yao
Okafor- bust

[josecalderon]

I've said this to my friends the whole year you cannot win with Ben Simmons rn he's a long term project for a rebuilding team not a contender

[JayTheRealest]

*Lmao Jimmy Butler is the FIRST guy i'd make sure is coming back. It'd make more sense to build around him. Embiid has too many health/injury issues it's only a matter of time before he falls off, and Simmons doesn't even attempt a damn jumper. If not for Jimmy, this series would've been a sweep.*

[lordloui]

The Markelle Fultz circus and trade distracted everyone from noticing that Simmons is just as bad or even worse of shooter than Fultz. The big stage has really exposed an overrated Simmons.

[jkemp]

Where are all those Sixers fans that told me “Simmons don’t need a shot because he can score at will on drives and post-ups???” Two straight years he gets exposed in the playoffs His ego’s too big to work on his jump shot.

[strangerthanparadise]

Jimmy Butler showing you that some players are regular season players and a hand full are postseason players

[britishuk_yrg]

Sixers fans don't want to admit, but you can't win a chip with a point guard like Simmons anymore.
